Being free brings a lightness, a carefree surrender to all that is happening around you, and, above all, an acceptance of reality.

There are periods in life when you get caught up in the whole field of relativity and lose your moorings with the absolute.

The whole material world. It doesn't actually exist. Matter is not material. It's made up of atoms that are moving at lightning speeds around huge empty spaces. So as you go beyond the appearance of molecules, you end up with a subatomic world, and if you go beyond that you end up with nothing. Nothing is the source of everything.

Joy is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and spirit that was yours at birth and that can be yours again. That openness to love, that capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you.

I think everybody plays a role in their own aging. Some people accelerate it. Some people slow it down. Some people manage to reverse it. It all depends on how much you are invested in the hypnosis of our social condition. So if you believe that at a certain age you have to die and you become dysfunctional, then you will.

Being free brings a lightness, a carefree surrender to all that is happening around you, and, above all, an acceptance of reality.

What other people think of you is not your business. If you start to make that business your business, you will be offended for the rest of your life.
